NEW!
Girls Inc. Group Programs
As part of the Girls Inc. network,
we'll be able to expand our services by adding high-quality,
curriculum-based programs on topics of special importance
to girls. These will include math, science and technology;
economic literacy; personal safety; health and well-being;
leadership; media literacy and more. These unique programs
have been developed following extensive research. They are
highly relevant, skill-based and fun!
How we're structured
As a registered charity, we're
governed by a dedicated volunteer board of directors who are
representative of our community and provide direction for
our organization. A number of special committees also help
organize our varied activities. These include a programming
committee, a nominating committee, a fund development committee,
and a publicity committee.
Our programs are made possible
by the time and expertise contributed by both volunteers and
professional staff who are experienced in working with girls.
GET INVOLVED!

programs, a parent that would like your daughter to become
involved, or a teacher that would like to recommend a girl
you know, Girls Inc. would like to hear from you. Just contact
